Ohio Speaker does not support August vote on 60% push

Season 2023 Episode 12 | 26m 46s

Republicans in the Ohio statehouse are still trying to raise the threshold for voter passage of constitutional amendments to 60%, but the effort appears dead for now. The push for an August election is an effort to raise the threshold needed for passage in advance of the November ballot where voters will decide on a reproductive rights amendment that includes abortion protections.
